The Acacia Strain - Nailgun

Merch: riserecords.merchnow.com/catal...
iTunes: smarturl.it/coma-witch
I poisoned the rat
Left her dying on her back
She had no plague or sickness left to give
I had no reason to let her live
Open wounds have no stories to tell
Walking corpses
Living dead shell
I gutted the pig
No funeral plans, no graves to dig
A plague of snakes
No pity for your fucking mistakes
Dead eyes
Buried bodies used for fertilizer
Always a liar,
I fucking despised her.
Mind of a snake,
Mouth of a pig.
Slither in your swill swallowing shit
Ive never seen vermin with such smooth skin
Put lipstick on a pig and it’s still a fucking pig
I noticed you wanted to run
That’s when you noticed the gun
I guarantee that won’t make you any safer
Sayonara - see you later
On the clearest of days
Not a cloud in the sky
I cut off her beautiful face with a broken kitchen knife
No blood,
No tears,
No stress.
All smiles
You didn’t survive
She didn’t survive
Her hair smelled like burning leaves
Execution
On your fucking knees
So blind
Losing my mind
So weak
No sympathy

A lipstick pig

thats not very nice.

It's a pretty pig though...

"Her hair smelled like burning leaves" He was never complex with lyrics, but that has to be my favorite line.

I love Vincent’s Vox and lyrics

[@curbthepain]

Found the vinyl of this album in some random store in Milwaukee. Absolutely amazing. 15 bucks well spent.

[@Squiggly-zg8zc]

That’s a very good price for vinyl.. damn

[@curbthepain]

@@Squiggly-zg8zc yeah the prices were way better 5 years ago.

[@rtremblay87]

To me personally, I think this is their best sounding material to date.

[@filvtbak]

Definitely my favorite album, style stands out and sounding is unique through whole experience, you can easily say it's Coma Witch listening to every single song.

[@Olliekse]

i can't really explain why TAS are different, but they really do hit like a steam train. I feel shook up each time i listen, and I'm not really a 'death core' fan. Oh yeah, and the song titles - 'The Impaler', 'Doomblade', 'Nailgun' - just epic.

[@psymeariver]

a lot of Doom-y influences

[@Waves4now]

TAS is metalcore.

[@psymeariver]

Downtempo Deathcore

[@Waves4now]

@@psymeariver thats not what their official genre statement is. I still can agree with what you said however.

[@nothingisblessed4765]

@@Waves4now they're the pioneers of downtempo deathcore but for some reason they keep rejecting the tag..

[@JoeMChatt]

"The Acacia Strain’s “Nailgun” is essentially a larger than life boulder that simply cannot be moved-it’s that brutal. After one listen through, meeting frontman Vincent Bennett in a dark alley may just become No. 1 on your list of things not to do."

2:47-3:16 is probably my favorite part

Tempo changes get me every time

[@Alex-jb4zy]

Same here, chills everytime. The band Traitors does heavy ass tempo changes, you should check it out.

[@zudachris1058]

+Alex Small If you like Traitors look up Entombed In The Abyss, you may have heard some of their vocalist Adam Mercers' covers on KZbin!

[@RemmyRiffs]

2 step!!

[@pawel_vachla]

The tempo changes/transitions are awesome! It might not be the most technical/complex track, but the rhythm, structure and overall mood and tone hook me right in.

[@Starost07]

The most beautiful love song I ever heard :)

[@vellayah]

It's like any other TAS song, but sounds so refreshing and powerful. I like this one so much. Looking forward to Coma Witch.

[@InevitableBeef]

I always lol every time I remember these guys are on Rise

[@farkle]

Devin Shidaker was the best thing that could have happened to this band. Can't fucking wait.

[@MrScrapple5000]

I thought the material was Downhill after wormwood but I think DL leaving was the best thing that happened to this band recently they needed a fresh of breath air.

[@thesauce3127]

Still here in 2022 like this isn’t the heaviest shit I’ve ever heard. Forever a fan. Hope to see you guys again soon! Met Vincent at the chameleon club and again at the soundstage. Fucking amazing band and even more kickass dudes!

[@sn0wboardfreak]

Fuck yes. Can't wait for this album.

It lacks that DL heavy tone, but overall, it's neat!

[@hxcreery]

Agreed, except on the single string riffs. Those have that tone still somewhat. Miss DL.

[@xjoemallardx]

Good thin DL is in Legend now!

[@TheMrJawdan]

looool yeah because he did such a great job producing the last album. This shit is a step up.

cauterizer took me a few listens to get into it, i have a feeling thats going to be the story of this album. def gonna have to listen to it at least 5 times through before making any judgements.

Yes! Never disappointed with TAS.

[@delagoya3945]

My god this is good

[@darkstar0470]

A nice fresh take on their style this time around; Lots of good variation. They're still gonna play all that shit you saps long for live. (that is if you even leave the safety of your home computer to support) 'SLITHER IN YOUR SWILL SWALLLOOWWINNGGG SSSHHHHIIIITTT!' Good stuff.

Heavy as usual

[@doingitsharp1568]

Ben a fan since '06 but holy FUCKING SHIT. Guess TAIM took my attention. But the FUCKING Acacia Strain has had the formula the whole time! Can't wait to see them saturday!

[@fulnelson12]

very dead walk-esque.

[@benjamin3290]

I thought the same thing

[@olanddevo]

Vincent is always trash talking/murdering/decapitating some female in their songs.

[@Marasma101]

Lol "The Demolishor' lyrics were fucking nuts in that regard. Straight up rape.

[@andrewramirez739]

But he's happily married and has been for a few years now? It made sense on old Acacia tracks but now it seems silly considering he's married... From the guy who said "she asked me to marry her, so I slit her fucking throat."

[@hourglassesandphatasses]

That's deathcore for ya... Remember deathcore? And its lyrical fixation on murdering sloots?

[@SaturnineXTS]

hourglass529m I don't think anyone's obligated to do a certain lyrical theme just because of a feeling of obligation to an arbitrary, supposed aspect of a genre :D Vincent just likes these lyrics

This will have the same effect on people as Wormwood and DITOM,your not sure at first but it grows on you.

[@xeulogyforherx]

Death is the only mortal took me some time to appreciate, but its no doubt that Vince's lyrics are redundant and getting old. I still respect and follow them, and I can still get down to the new style. For any KIDS who are just finding out about acacia, listen to the old stuff and learn what good heavy metal used to be.

[@MikesLaffy]

I still have no idea why TAS is on Rise Records.. So much better and heavier than the rest of the bands signed to them. -_-

[@ELSpartans236]

Couldn't agree more

[@0Just0Josh0]

I feel its because theyve been busting their ass since 2001, and finally deserve a good label and as proving that not every band signed to RISE gets infected with Risecore, the day Vincent starts doing cleans then people can start bitching about them being on RISE.

[@peterparkes2302]

I thinks its really because they had more to offer than their previous lable possibly more benefits and touring package its tough for hardcore bands to tour with the lack of accepting venues or large enough representation in a community being on a lable like rise gives them that touring security.

Would this count as beat down or is that something completely different

[@SuperBigsexy14]

I like this, its fun. You're taking it all too seriously, are you really such cool hard asses? I highly doubt Vincent would take anything serious lol. Just enjoy and support them.

[@phlegmmmmm]

Well I miss the wormwood daze, but I'll still cheque this out. BLEAGH

[@malicious_beast8765]

I think it just sounds like every other sub par band on Rise Records. They don't have that DL factor anymore

[@joshvarga3591]

Anyone bitching about TAS lyrics needs to try a little harder to use their brain. Google nihilism. Pretty sure Vincent always tries to write as if he's a serial killer, serial killers tend to have very negative but direct outlooks on the world around them. Thus, negative and direct lyrics. It's supposed to have an evil but to the point vibe. Seriously, I didn't think that was so hard to see. You people take music (and yourselves) way too seriously.

[@kennethgooday9969]

i don't think u understand nihilism in a philosophical sense. Ur just associating with negative music because he said he was a nihilist on the wormwood album. Nihilism isn't inherently negative. It's void of negativity and positivity. It is the complete numbness of feeling and rejection of objective meaning. It is in direct contradiction to cynicism and contentment. A nihilist wouldn't care if someone lived or died because life has no meaning. Apathy and love don't exist in their mind

[@Blast_HardCheese]

Kenneth Gooday I was ready to bitch because you used "Ur", but that's a fucking good, and well understood, way to put it.

[@Cristov123]

Josh Varga The funny part is, Vincent is actually a really friendly, funny guy in real life too ha.

[@tylerhammond24]

Some of those riffs felt like The Dead Walk. Hope this album smashes.
